This program is the exact type of program that President Obama would like to support in his recent My Brother's Keeper Executive Order, where he specifically addressed the high suspension rate of African-American students, and he stated "there are ways to modify bad behavior that leads to good behavior" and this program that his clients have does just that.

He hopes that those who read the book will leave comments on Amazon or on the book's website because he wants the book to start conversations about diversity in technology rather than end them. The book's website is here: http://MinorityTech.com

Teaching computer programming has never been so easy!
Select the appropriate curriculum, assign it and start teaching right away. The Tynker Starter Pack has 6 lessons, each appropriate for a 45 minute engagement. The premium version has a number of additional lesson plans applicable to each grade.
Assign a lesson to your students. The built-in tutor provides step-by-step instruction that guides the students toward building a working project from the beginning. Students can experiment with settings to see how their programs run.
Use the dashboards to track students' progress as they learn and master concepts. Each programming assignment is automatically scanned. No data entry is required. Get a bird's eye view of the entire classroom or look at each student's progress in detail.
Set up a single class or multiple classrooms with ease. If your school uses Google logins for students, just share the class code for them to join your classroom. If you have younger kids, you can create Tynker accounts for them. Use the CSV import feature to import a large group of students into multiple classrooms at once.
Publish your best creations on to your class showcase and share it with parents and friends via email, Google+, Twitter or Facebook. As a teacher you have full control of all sharing aspects. Once you add a project to the showcase, a snapshot is created so that if students modify their projects further, the showcase remains the same.
If you and your students have a web browser and an Internet connection, you're good to go! There's nothing to install or set up. Since we are cloud-hosted, your projects are saved on your account on Tynker are available from school or home - anywhere you have access to the Internet.
Tynker Workshop is where you and your students design and build your projects. Start by creating a scene, adding images, sounds. Use visual code blocks to rapidly program your ideas as logic. Use the Media Library and Art Studio to get creative.
Tynker Workshop is browser based, and there is nothing to install. The Workshop runs on all modern desktop browsers such as Chrome, Internet Explorer 9, Safari and Firefox. Mobile support is coming soon.
Programming with Tynker is visual. Students arrange visual code blocks to rapidly program ideas into working apps. There is no need to learn programming syntax. They quickly transform their ideas and designs into games, apps, interactive animations, stories and more.
Tynker's curriculum is filled with age-appropriate activities such as animating characters, building comics and stories, designing and building games, making animated slide shows, programming original music, and creating computer art.
Access help in the Tynker Workshop by clicking on the helper troll in the Toolbar. You can drag code blocks to the help popup to get block specific help. The help section has a number of sample projects and tutorials, how-to videos and tips and tricks that you can use while Tynkering.
Tynker is a platform that can be flexibly integrated into a classroom or school. While some schools use it in their formal computer programming curriculums, other schools use it to enhance learning in classes like math, science, art and so forth. There are currently more than 3,000 teachers using Tynker in elementary, middle and high schools in different ways.

Lincoln's Pinnacle Bank Arena held its first major event last week with singer Michael Bublé and 12,000 fans.
Many people have asked about the building and how it stacks up against Omaha's arena, so here are a few of the most frequently asked questions and our answers.
Q. How does Pinnacle Bank Arena compare to CenturyLink Center Omaha?
A. They have some differences, but on the whole they are very similar buildings. Both have a load of concessions. Both have a bunch of suites and seats arranged in an upper and lower bowl.
Pinnacle Bank Arena has fewer seats and a slightly tighter, but more intimate, feel. The CenturyLink Center generally feels bigger, and its hallways are wider.
Q. Pinnacle Bank Arena is brand new, so it must be much better than CenturyLink Center. Right?
A. It is new and the bathrooms are gorgeous, but it has a design similar to most new arenas. There aren't a lot of huge differences from the fan perspective.
Q. How's the food?
A. Prices seem a bit steeper at Pinnacle Bank Arena. We think beer is a pretty good barometer. A Bud Light in Omaha was $6 the last time we checked, and a Bud Light is $7.50 in Lincoln.
On the other hand, Pinnacle appears to have more food and drink options. Every concession stand has its own specialty items, and those specialty items are really good.
Q. Was there anything that you really, really liked about the building?
A. Pinnacle has one awesome feature we haven't see elsewhere: the Capital Terrace. Attached to the main concourse, the terrace is a large patio that overlooks the Railyard. It's the perfect spot to share a drink with friends, have a smoke or eat your BBQ nachos (which we definitely did).
Q. How is parking? Traffic?
A. Not bad. It's about what you'd expect at any arena, with lots of surface lots and parking garages. You do have to pay to park.
Traffic to and from Omaha moved really fast. It was nothing like driving to and from Lincoln for a Husker game.
Q. How is the sound in Pinnacle Bank Arena? Is it any better than the CenturyLink Center?
A. Our review said that Michael Bublé sounded great, and he definitely did. But the true test will come when AC/DC (or some other loud guitar band) comes in and dials the amps to 11. For the record, CenturyLink Center sounds similar to other arenas in that it can occasionally get noisy with all those sound waves bouncing around in the upper reaches of the arena. But on the whole, our experience is that most concerts sound pretty good there, too.

Definition of Disability
As stated by the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act of 2008: A mental or physical impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; have a record of such impairment; or be regarded as having such impairment. This includes, but not limited to the following:
Includes but not limited to, caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, seeing, hearing, eating, sleeping, walking, standing, lifting, bending, speaking, breathing, learning, reading, concentrating, thinking, communicating, and working.
It also includes the operations of major bodily functions including immune, respiratory, circulatory, endocrine, digestive, reproductive, neurological, brain, normal cell growth, bowel, and bladder.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
This is a neurological condition that affects one's ability to hold and sustain attention, concentration, and impulse control and life management. People do not always have hyperactivity as part of their condition. Generally, people with ADHD have a history of symptoms or a diagnosis as a child, but many students are diagnosed as adults.
Autism Spectrum (ASD)
Autism Spectrum impacts the ability for one to make sense of their social environment. Typical social cues and references may not be understood. People with ASD often interpret things literally and at face value. Limited social interaction, executive functioning impairments and focused attention to one particular subject or area are common distinctions to people with ASD.
Blind/Low Vision
Blind/Low vision impairments are of low -incidence; people with this limitation typically acquire it from birth, or through a chronic medical condition such as diabetes or injury. People who are blind have no vision at all; people with low vision have a low vision field that cannot be corrected by eye glasses, contacts or any other corrective device.
Brain Injury
This impairment is typically due to an injury and/or serious internal or external trauma to the brain. People with brain injury often have impairment in cognitive processing, executive functioning, and memory. Other limitations can be with emotional regulation and information processing.
Chronic Medical Condition
Chronic medical conditions affect one or more of the body's organs or systems. Common conditions may include chronic migraines, diabetes, Chron's Disease or cancer.
Deaf or Hard of Hearing
People who are deaf have no ability to hear; while people who are hard of hearing have limited hearing function even with the use of devices such as hearing aids. Typically people who are deaf or hard of hearing are born with the limitation or acquire it due to injury, chronic ear infections or other medical conditions.
Head Injury
A head injury occurs when an individual has trauma to the head and affects information processing, memory and concentration. A concussion is an example of a head injury. A head injury may not have as long-lasting effects as a brain injury.
Learning Disability
A learning disability is a limitation in one's ability to acquire, store, organize, retrieve, manipulate and express information. People typically have average or above average intelligence, yet exhibit a difference between ability and achievement. A learning disability is determined through psychoeducational testing from a neuropsychologist or practicing psychologist.
Mental Health
People who are diagnosed with a condition that impairs their ability to function successfully in life due to limitations to their thinking, feeling and/or behavior. Common diagnoses include Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Major Depression, Bi-Polar, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
People with limitations in their ability to move, bend, walk or write independently. Often people with mobility limitations utilize a wheelchair or assistive devices. These limitations are often acquired at birth or by injury.

Uneven enforcement suspected at nuclear plantsBy JEFF DONN
The Associated Press | October 20,2013BOSTON The number of safety violations at U.S. nuclear power plants varies dramatically from region to region, pointing to inconsistent enforcement in an industry now operating mostly beyond its original 40-year licenses, according to a congressional study awaiting release.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission figures cited in the Government Accountability Office report show that while the West has the fewest reactors, it had the most lower-level violations from 2000 to 2012 more than 2½ times the Southeasts rate per reactor.
The Southeast, with the most reactors of the NRCs four regions, had the fewest such violations, according to the report, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press.
The striking variations do not appear to reflect real differences in reactor performance. Instead, the report says, the differences suggest that regulators interpret rules and guidelines differently among regions, perhaps because lower-level violations get limited review.
The study also says that the NRCs West region may enforce the rules more aggressively and that common corporate ownership of multiple plants may help bolster maintenance in the Southeast.
However, the reasons arent fully understood because the NRC has never fully studied them, the report says. Right now, its authors wrote, the NRC cannot ensure that oversight efforts are objective and consistent.
Told of the findings, safety critics said enforcement is too arbitrary and regulators may be missing violations. The nuclear industry has also voiced concern about the inconsistencies, the report said.
The analysis was written by the GAO, the investigative arm of Congress, at the request of four senators. Before the government shutdown, the report had been set for public release later this month.
Steven Kerekes, a spokesman for the industry group Nuclear Energy Institute, declined to comment pending release of the report. The NRCs public affairs office had no comment, citing the government shutdown.
The GAO analysis focuses on lower-level safety violations known as nonescalated. They represent 98 percent of all violations identified by the NRC, which regulates safety at the countrys commercial reactors.
Lower-level violations are those considered to pose very low risk, such as improper upkeep of an electrical transformer or failure to analyze a problem with no impact on a systems operation, such as the effect of a pipe break. Higher-level violations range from low to high safety significance, such as an improperly maintained electrical system that caused a fire and affected a plants ability to shut down safely.
The GAOs analysis shows 3,225 of these violations from 2000 through the end of 2012 across 21 reactors in the West. By contrast, there were 1,885 such violations in the Southeast. Yet that region is home to 33 reactors 12 more than in the West. The West registered 153.6 violations per reactor, while the Southeast saw just 57.1.
The Midwest, with 24 reactors, had 3,148 violations, for a rate of 131.2 per reactor. The 26-reactor Northeast also fared worse than the Southeast, with 2,518 violations, or 96.8 per reactor.
The Cooper nuclear station in Brownville, Neb., led all sites in lower-level violations per reactor with 363. The next four were Wolf Creek, in Burlington, Kan., with 266; Kewaunee, in Kewaunee, Wis., 256; Perry, in Perry, Ohio, 256; and River Bend, in St. Francisville, La., 240.
The GAO found less regional variation in higher-level safety violations.
The six plants with the most higher-level violations per reactor from 2000 to 2012 were Davis-Besse in Oak Harbor, Ohio, with 14; Cooper, 11; Kewaunee, nine; Perry, eight; Palisades, in Covert, Mich., eight; and Fort Calhoun, in Fort Calhoun, Neb., eight.
I believe the oversight process is totally arbitrary, said Paul Blanch, an engineer who once blew the whistle on problems from within the industry and later returned to work on safety. He also said the NRC isnt providing consistent training to inspectors and regional staff. Blanch was made aware of the GAO findings by the AP.
The report also indicates that some regulators may be missing small problems or giving them short shrift, safety experts said. And they said little violations can pile up and interact with one another to create bigger risks.
Any time you start tolerating minor problems, youre just setting the stage for major safety problems down the road, said nuclear engineer David Lochbaum of the Union of Concerned Scientists. He once trained NRC staff.
Phillip Musegaas, a lawyer with the environmental group Riverkeeper, said regulators should do more to make sure that lower-level violations are fixed. NRCs tracking to make sure these violations are resolved is completely ineffectual, he said.
In its official response to the report, the NRC defended the objectivity of its plant assessments. At the same time, it acknowledged the regional differences and promised to look deeper into why they happen.
According to the GAO, the NRC regulatory staff also offered several explanations, including regional variations in reactor ages and time spent on inspections. However, the congressional watchdog said those explanations are not supported by the data.
The agency did offer that regulators may be right when they cite the possible impact of joint ownership of sites, a circumstance most prevalent in the Southeast. Nuclear plants under one owner may benefit from more corporate resources and thus avoid violations, the GAO suggested. The NRC also said higher-level violations are more consistent because they are more deeply reviewed.
On other issues, the report said the NRC needs an easier-to-use internal database to help staff learn of historical safety issues that apply to current problems. It also pressed the agency to improve its public documents website to allow tracking of safety violations. The NRC said it would work to improve both tools.
Senators requested the report in reaction to the Japanese nuclear accident at Fukushima in 2011 and an Associated Press investigative series later that year about aging U.S. nuclear plants. The AP series found that federal regulators had relaxed safety rules to keep plants running beyond their initial licenses. It also reported leaks of radioactive tritium at three-quarters of plants and outdated estimates of evacuation times.
The GAO analyzed data for 104 commercial reactors, but four permanently shut earlier this year: Crystal River in Florida, Kewaunee, and the two units at San Onofre in California.MORE IN National / World BusinessSaying they can no longer ignore the rising prices of health care, some of the most influential...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Predators 'Fang Fever' has been in full swing during the playoffs this week. The team is one win away from taking down one of the most storied franchises in the NHL, but the Red Wings aren't the only ones with history on their side.
"Most people, if they move here, don't realize we have a hockey history," said Ray Matthews, a local Predators fan.
The Nashville Predators have not only hockey history, but archeological history as well.
Below the bottom floor of Nashville's Regions Bank Tower, under the parking garage and a covered by a metal grate, lies cave that the last real predator called home. The spot was unearthed back in 1971 when excavating for the building began.
What construction workers found was a nine inch long fang and front foreleg bone belonging to a Saber Tooth Tiger.
"You know the last real Saber Tooth Tiger to walk this earth could have been on the streets of Broadway and reincarnated as Gnash and the Predators," said Matthews.
The bones are now displayed within the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in Bridgestone Arena with other artifacts found during the excavation.
"People think it's interesting because its most cities don't have a connection that was named after something that truly occurred in their city," said Kathy Reed with CBRE Management.
Preds Fan Ray Matthews not only honors the past, he promotes it with a special replica skull he brings for special games to educate his fellow fan.
"When they see this, they're like 'What's that? And I say that's our history, our beginning. That's where we began," he explained.

Watching the Supreme Court make its campaign finance jurisprudence disappear.
Early in this morning's special-edition September oral argument in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission—known far and wide as the Hillary: The Movie case—Justice Antonin Scalia stops newbie Solicitor General Elena Kagan as she argues that the court has never before questioned 100 years of congressional efforts to limit corporate spending in elections. "We are not," he growls at Kagan, "a self-starting institution. We only disapprove of something when someone asks us to."
Erm. Kinda.
As Kagan and her colleague Seth Waxman argue this morning, if the court uses this case to overrule either McConnell v. FEC (which upheld the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law in 2003) or Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce, the 1990 case McConnell reaffirmed,it will be one of the self-starting-est things the Roberts Court has ever done.
When we first met this case, it involved a narrow question about whethera 90-minute documentary attacking Hillary Clinton could be regulated as an "electioneering communication" under McCain-Feingold. The relevant provision bars corporations and unions from using money from their general treasuries for "any broadcast, cable or satellite communications" that feature a candidate for federal election during specified times before a general election. A special three-judge U.S. District Court panel agreed with the FEC that the movie could be regulated. * Citizens United, the conservative, nonprofit advocacy group that produced the film, appealed. The issue last spring was whether a feature-length documentary movie was core political speech or a Swift Boat ad. But the court surprised everyone when it ordered the case reargued in September, this time tackling the constitutionality of McConnell and Austin.
Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, and Clarence Thomas are already on record wanting to overturn these cases. Justice Samuel Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts have been inclined to wait. The question today is whether we wait no more.
The all-stars are out in force this morning with former Solicitor General Ted Olson representing Citizens United and Floyd Abrams representing Mitch McConnell, who'd like to strike down the statute. Solicitor General Elena Kagan represents the FEC, and Seth Waxman has 10 minutes to argue for John McCain and Russ Feingold. It is clear from minute one of oral argument that the parties to this lawsuit are plagued by very different nightmares.
Olson's nightmare is "the right to criminalize books and signs." But for Ruth Bader Ginsburg, it's the scary prospect of granting First Amendment rights to "today's mega-corporations, where many of the investors may be foreign individuals or entities." Chief Justice Roberts is terrified of putting "our First Amendment rights in the hands of FEC bureaucrats." But Sonia Sotomayor is terrified of a court that decides cases too broadly. Scalia, for his part, is afraid of muzzling America's hairdressers.
Olson says that the First Amendment says Congress can make no law prohibiting free speech. Ginsburg shoots back that nobody is being prohibited from speaking: "Corporations can give, but it has to use a PAC." Olson responds that this is just "ventriloquist speech … surrogate speech." Justice Stephen Breyer rejects Olson's contention that there is no compelling governmental interest in regulating corporate money in elections: "It's this concern about the perception that people are, say, buying candidates," he urges. Ginsburg adds, hopefully, "Wasn't there a finding before the three-judge court that federal officials know of and feel indebted to corporations or unions who finance ads urging their election?"
Justice Stevens proves that he doesn't need even one law clerk by single-handedly browbeating Olson over a footnote in a previous case. Since the name of the game today is watching the Roberts Five shrink formerly binding court precedent into thin air without being forced to overrule the cases themselves, Stevens' willingness to fight for the integrity of a mere footnote is noble, if ultimately futile.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor is on the bench this morning and—for those wondering—her white neck-cloth is more a table-runner to Ginsburg's lacy doily. About 30 minutes into argument, she asks her first question of Olson, and it's precisely the question you'd expect from someone who pledged allegiance at her hearings to minimalism: "Are you giving up on your earlier arguments that there are ways to avoid the constitutional question to resolve this case?" Moments later she points out that "there is no record that I am reviewing that actually goes into the very question that you're arguing." If we learned anything about this woman at her hearings, she loves a big, fat trial court record.

Check your Blood Alcohol Content using your cell phone! (Translation)
12 July 2010
A small application installed in a cell phone will allow you to check when you can drive again after having consumed alcohol. If necessary, it will help you to get a taxi, since drunk driving is forbidden the world over.
When we drink alcohol, it gets to our stomach and intestines, and from there very quickly to our bloodstream and then to the entire body. Driving under the influence is dangerous not only for the driver, but for all other road users.
"A person who is driving under the influence of alcohol is committing a crime that can have a sentence of up to two years in prison" - reminds Mariusz Sokołowski from the Police Headquarters. "If such a driver causes an accident, the sentence will be much longer. The upper limit is 4 and a half years in prison" - he adds.
Let's remember that fast drinking will not help us burn off the alcohol faster - it can stay in the blood for a long time.
"The amount of time will be different for each person, but there are some standards - including gender, body mass, or general health status. Of course, the most important factor is the amount of alcohol consumed and when we stopped drinking" - says Paweł Kwiatkowski, spokesperson for the Brewer's Campaign. "It is obvious that alcohol consumed on an empty stomach is absorbed faster. Also, women need more time to get rid of the consumed alcohol from their bodies".
Program "Check your BAC"
The social program "Check your BAC" allows us to change our cell phone into a breathalyzer. It has existed in Poland for two years. Already, over 10,000 people have joined the program and use it completely free.
"We do not have to blow into our phone. All we have to do is instal a little program, which is an alcohol calculator. We enter the most important data and the program calculates when the consumed alcohol will be burned" - explains Paweł Kwiatkowski.
See the video demonstrating how the "Check your BAC" works"
High quality video:
How does it work?
If you want to use the application, just go to www.sprawdzpromile.pl or send the text message PROMILE to 70958 (cost is 61 groszy plus tax). The application will be delivered to your cell phone.
How do you use it? Enter your age, weight, and alcohol that you consumed. It will be enough to check the approximate state of intoxication. The application also has a lot of other functions. For example: the possibility to check allowed limits in other European Union countries. You can also play a game that checks your reflexes. A good idea is the possibility of calling a cab directly from the program.
Golden Arrow for the program
The program "Check your BAC" received recognition in the prestigious Golden Arrow contest under the category "mobile marketing." Golden Arrow is one of the most important contests in the Polish marketing environment. We can even say that it has received a double prize. In 2005 it was received by two different marketing festivals, Golden Arrow and Boomerang - that's how Golden Arrow was created. The creators of the application "Check your BAC" were convinced about the great personal usefulness of the application. Now, every Polish person has a chance to see his/her own optimal levels of beer consumption.
Let's remember not to drive under the influence of the alcohol!
Brewer's Campaign - brewer's industry leader in Poland
Brewer's Campaign is the biggest beer brewer's corporation in Poland. Hundreds of years of experience in beer brewing, innovative technologies and strict following of the rules of production on a world class level guarantee the highest quality of our products.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Hydralazine belongs to the general class of medicines called antihypertensives. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is also used to control high blood pressure in the mother during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia or eclampsia) or in emergency situations when blood pressure is extremely high (hypertensive crisis).
High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled.
Hydralazine works by relaxing blood vessels and increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart while reducing its workload.
Hydralazine may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Hydralazine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although this use is not specifically included in product labeling, hydralazine is used in certain patients with the following medical condition:
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Although there is no specific information comparing use of hydralazine in children with use in other age groups, this medicine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in children than it does in adults. However, the oral solution contains aspartame, which is converted to phenylalanine in the body. Children with phenylketonuria cannot process phenylalanine and high levels of this substance in body fluids may cause brain damage.
Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults. Although there is no specific information comparing use of hydralazine in the elderly with use in other age groups, this medicine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults.
Studies in women suggest that this medication poses minimal risk to the infant when used during breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following may cause an increased risk of certain side effects but may be unavoidable in some cases. If used together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use this medicine, or give you special instructions about the use of food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
For patients taking this medicine for high blood pressure:
For patients taking the oral solution form of hydralazine :
This medicine works best if there is a constant amount in the blood. To help keep this amount constant, do not miss any doses and take the medicine at the same times each day.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Keep the bottle closed when you are not using it. Keep it in the refrigerator. Do not freeze.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
It is important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly.
Hydralazine may cause some people to have headaches or to feel dizzy. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or are not alert.
The oral solution contains 1.4 milligrams (mg) of phenylalanine per teaspoonful (5 mL). Patients with phenylketonuria cannot process phenylalanine and high levels of this substance in body fluids may cause brain damage.
For patients taking this medicine for high blood pressure :
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Hayes Dominates as Boston College Wins NCAA Hockey East Tournament
Remember Jimmy Hayes? He was the Leafs 2nd round pick in 2008, a burgeoning power forward who struggled last season in his freshman campaign with the Boston College Eagles as he adjusted to the NCAA game.
Consider those struggles a thing of the past.
Hayes was fantastic in the Hockey East Championship this past week as his team captured their ninth tournament victory, an NCAA record. Oh, and you may be interested to know that his 2 goals and 5 assists (in 4 games) led all tournament point-getters.

When Pandilleros Attend Mass and Other Life Lessons
I went to ElSalvador.com to check out photos of El Salvador's momentous win last night against the U.S., but as is my habit, I became distracted by something else.
A still image in the sidebar of a tattooed marero (gang member), taking communion, made me pause. The story title: Pandilleros piden una oportunidad. I clicked through to the video and found it too moving not to share.
I don't consider myself religious, but something about this video touched me. Looking at those faces, behind the tattoos, I see young men who were once little boys, and for whatever reason, they made mistakes that led them to where they are. Many of them come from poverty or abusive homes. Neglected by parents or orphaned by war, they sought to "belong" and that is a big attraction to gang life – it's the family one never had.
"Siempre han dicho que nosotros somos la escoria y lo peor del mundo. Nosotros crecimos en un época de conflicto y en ese época tapamos nuestros valores con cosas negativas, pero estamos dispuestos a cambiar, si nos ayudan." – source
["They've always said that we're the scum and the worst of the world. We grew up in an era of conflict and in that time we covered our values with negative things, but we are willing to change, if you help us."]
"Nosotros estamos de buena fe, queremos seguir adelantes. Estamos consciente de que les hemos fallado a Dios, y a la sociedad, y aquí en nombre de toda mi pandilla, la MS13, quiero pedirle perdón, a la sociedad, y que nos dé una oportunidad de poder cambiar… nosotros también somos salvadoreños, nosotros también somos seres humanos." – source: MS13 gang member in the video
["We are of good faith, we want to move on. We are aware that we have failed God, and society, and here, on behalf of my gang, MS13, I apologize, I want to ask for forgiveness, from society, and ask that you give us an opportunity to change ... we too are Salvadorans, we too are human beings."]
What would happen if we always believed the best about others, rather than the worst?…Maybe people live up to expectations.

Tracy, you are fantastic. This right here ——-> "What would happen if we always believed the best about others, rather than the worst?…Maybe people live up to expectations" <——– is what I think to myself every time I have to go to a teacher to stand up for my ESL students (who are mostly Hispanic, some gang affiliated)

A new analysis published in The Quarterly Review of Biology found no support for this hypothesis. The researchers, led by University of Illinois psychology professor Justin Rhodes, looked at 35 studies that included data about the territorial ranges and spatial abilities of 11 species of animals: cuttlefish, deer mice, horses, humans, laboratory mice, meadow voles, pine voles, prairie voles, rats, rhesus macaques and talastuco-tucos (a type of burrowing rodent). Rhodes and his colleagues found that in eight out of 11 species, males demonstrated moderately superior spatial skills to their female counterparts, regardless of the size of their territories or the extent to which males ranged farther than females of the same species.
The findings lend support to an often-overlooked hypothesis, Rhodes said. The average superiority of males over females in spatial navigation may just be a "side effect" of testosterone, he said. (Previous studies have shown that women who take testosterone tend to see an improvement in their spatial navigation skills, he said.)
